Sorry, another pressure washer question

05-17-2010, 07:51 AM

Hey all, I have read everything on the site but I am not sure I have come up with an answer. I am looking at a used Ridgid 3300psi pressure washer and was wondering if the new EFI one is much better than the older version? The used one I am looking at is like new and a pretty good price, but I am not sure if I would be better picking up the newer version? Thanks.

Brew,

What is the price difference? I purchased my 3300 brand new last year and it is the best PW I have ever owned by far and I have owned the best.

I am in the same boat...I am not sure if I should spend the extra $$ on the newer version w/EFI. Someone has the RD80763 on Craigslist for $450 (although I think I can get him down to $300 being that some store around here still have some left for $499- 10%). He said it was never used but in the next sentance said "like new". He said it is about a year old. We will use it around the house (siding, deck, peel paint, cars, etc.) but my boyfriend does gutters and will be using it for occasional side jobs for his customers. Would it be worth the extra $375 to get the RD80702 w/EFI?

EFI? Errhh. Nothing really new added. All it's doing, IIRC, is having you pay a few extra bucks for a conversion from a carburated engine to a fuel injected engine. It's already 4-cycle engines that are mounted on these things. I would think that the EFI addition really doesn't add any major benefit to it, aside from ever-so-slightly-less emissions.
